Ban the Vuvuzela

Or: "Run!"

Or: why I chose to watch today's episode of Doctor Who instead. I was pleased to see the words 'The Doctor rocks' (at 39 min 45 seconds in) spelled out with fridge magnets.

As a libertarian ... I fully endorse your headline. ;-)

As for the Doctor, I watched both. Not you?

DP, as a libertarian, I have no interest in banning it or otherwise. As a 'blogger I figured that a lot of people would be Googling that phrase. As to football, England always do quite well until and unless I happen to be watching it on telly, so I try and avoid doing so where possible.

Gah! Well that didn't work then ... unless you were thinking 'green' at around 8:10pm.

Having no TV, it was not an issue for me. Nor was the Hyundai ad and though the English press did not run a live coverage, the NYT did - thank goodness for the net.

Attempting to ban the vuvu is obviously an attempt to skew the results of the violent deaths at the World Cup league.

Oddly enough I did google the phrase "ban the vuvuzela" yesterday, although before this post was up.

Well, between not giving a toss AND living in a country where what we call soccer is the third and most minor code I didn't even know the whole farrago was about to start.
